ILO recommendations

The ILO has called on its 185 member states to adopt minimum wage policies as a way of reducing working poverty and providing social protection for vulnerable employees.

Minimum wages should take into account the needs of workers as well as economic factors, including levels of productivity, the requirements of economic development and the need to maintain a high level of employment
